It always happens doesn’t it? You think, that this time, maybe you could make a simple issue-based choice on who to vote for in the presidential election. You think that maybe, just maybe, we can escape without all the dirty politics and childish and desperate mud-slinging. For a minute, I thought it, miraculously, could happen. Now, as we’re set to enter the second debate tonight, I’m not so sure.
Both candidates have caved to the pressure and resorted to digging up dirt and making mostly false accusations about each other. It’s a bunch of hooey and it’s just enough to make you vote for a third party, I tells ya! A third, vote-splitting party that ruins everything by making the vote sooo close that it requires The Supreme Court to intervene and decide the winner for us. And we all know what that leads to…eight long years of misery, spiralling debt, never-ending war, and complete disregard for our natural environment and civil liberties. ...

Jim Gaffigan is a funny guy. Back when I had a fabulous life in New York City, I remember seeing him at Gotham Comedy Club, I had recognized him from the teevee and liked his set very much. He was also part of a strong supporting cast on Ellen Degeneres’ second network sitcom, the short-lived–The Ellen Show. After Cloris Leachman, he was my fave. Two quality memories. So,though I admired his droll humour and silly voices before I was familiar with today’s great th...

They started airing The Daily Show over here in the U.K., oh, it must have been a couple of years ago. We’re a day behind of the original broadcast, of course, but I’m so pleased that I get to catch it at all. The Daily Show, with its shrewd satire, is one of the best ways to keep up on American politics. Yes, I understand what a sad statement on our news media that is. But, the happy truth is, whatever I’m missing from back home–well, I needn’t worry. ...

This is the face that launched a thousand captions.  It’s the image and accompanying caption that the now heavily trafficked website icanhascheezburger purportedly swiped from Something Awful, a comedy site. This is the flagship “kitteh”. What this little picture has spawned goes beyond the sharing of silly cat images–it has birthed a whole lexicon of slang (kitteh pidgin), inspired several offshoots, and ingrained itself into our p...

On British TV a couple of years ago, I saw a studio performance by The Go! Team. They’re a terrifically fun band from the Brighton area. Their records are action-packed blends of cheer-leading chants, car chase music, and guitar riffs. Good fun. During that performance though, one of the guitar players wore a motocross bike helmet the whole time. Like this one here.
It was just about the best look I’ve ever seen and if I were in a rock band I would so steal it. ...
